Venice is a dense city where space is a premium commodity; the buildings are close together, the streets are narrow and apart from the Grand Canal, the waterways are narrow. There is not much room for pedestrians, so life goes on in proximity. Then on the plus side; there is no road traffic, the people are friendly, courteous and everyone gets along fine. We can walk for miles through the alleyways and never take the same route twice. While doing so, I took a set of photographs to portray just a tiny part of life of the city, its people and its visitors. There is so much more.
